TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In the "Microsoft Access 97 for Windows Superguide," which I
really like, Chapter 12 "Designing Complex Forms" starts off with the
section, "Designing Forms from Scratch."
I was not offended in the least by that section title!
Perhaps if I were from somewhere other than North America, it might be
strange. I'm not sure. In the rest of the manual, they use the expression,
"Designing Custom..." I think that might be a pretty strong hint to the
users that they will be building something themselves.
